Suitable for all high density residential and commercial centres, the Avac municipal Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS) uses vacuum pressure to transport waste up to 4km via an underground pipe network to a central Waste Collection Facility. There it is compacted into transportable bins and easily loaded onto trucks for off-site processing.

Benefits

Fewer Trucks on our Roads

As the Avac Automatic Waste Collection System transfers waste to a central collection point, the number of garbage trucks on our local streets is essentially eliminated, improving localised air quality and making streets safer for all.

Lower Energy Use - Source of Bio-Fuel

Waste collection via Avac vacuum waste transfer requires half the energy of truck and bin collection, saving money and reducing the municipality’s carbon footprint. The ability to separate organic waste means that some communities are even producing energy from the collected biofuel.

Lower Waste Disposal Costs

As the system makes it easy to separate waste streams, recycling contamination rates are significantly reduced, further saving on waste disposal costs.

Less 'Wasted' Space

Automatic Waste Collection Systems reduce ‘on-site’ waste storage space due to both increased collection frequency and compacting of the waste in the centralised waste collection station, meaning less ‘wasted’ space for all.

Better than Conventional AWCS

  • Lower installation costs as smaller pipe diameter allows a reduction in the sizing of plant & equipment.
  • Avac systems use 1/3 of the energy of a conventional AWCS.
  • Composite piping requires 50% less installation time compared to conventional steel pipe installations.
  • Lower risk of blockages due to composite pipe network’s extremely high coefficient of friction compared to steel.
